Providence, on the record
Downtown Ledger

Mall thruway mouth, west side to Olneyville Square

No

Split by population not yet recorded: would an arrival walk it, would a resident.

Straight line 1.52 mi (8,025 ft). On the street: 1.82 mi (9,613 ft), the shortest walking route on OpenStreetMap. Called 2026-09-02.

Why not

No reason recorded yet. A no without a reason cannot be checked, so it does not count until it has one.

Sightline from the origin

Not yet recorded.

To record it: stand at the origin, face the route, and note whether the destination is in view, the grade, whether a highway or rail line is in the frame, the distance to the first thing worth walking toward, and take one eye-level photo with the same framing every time.

Notes

Reason pending in checkable form: what is on that thruway (length without doors, eyes on it, lighting), not the feeling.
